摘要:
A turbine blade (10) for use in a gas turbine engine is provided. The turbine blade (10) includes an airfoil portion (12) having a tip end (15), a shroud (16) attached to the tip end (15), which shroud (16) has an outer surface (18), and a knife edge (20) attached to the outer surface (18) of the shroud (16). The knife edge (20) has a pair of cutter blades (28,30) protruding outwardly from the knife edge (20).
摘要:
A hollow fan blade (30) for turbo fan gas turbine engines is formed of two separate detail halves (30a,30b). Each detail half has a plurality of cavities (40) and ribs (42) machined out to reduce weight. These detail halves (30a,30b) are subsequently bonded and given an airfoil shape in the forming operation. The present invention provides a hollow fan blade with internal cavity and rib geometry with improved durability that permits the bonding and forming to be performed without the need for gas pressurization. The ability to form the hollow fan blade of the present invention without gas pressurization is a result of the cavity (40) and rib (42) geometry and the orientation of the ribs. The ribs (42) are tapered and transition into a compound radius of the floor (48) that simulates the classical arch design element. The orientation of the ribs (42) is generally in a parallel plane with the load vector that results from forming loads during the pre-form and final form operations. This orientation provides compressive stress transfer into the ribs and away from the concave and convex skins. The rib spacing is controlled where ribs (42) can not be held in a parallel plane with the load vector.

A golf training club (60) comprising a shaft (62) with a grip (64) at one end and a sleeve (66) rotatably mounted about the shaft. The golf training club (60) is suitable for use with a golf training aid (20) which comprises a circular hoop (22) that is inclined or inclinable in use at an angle to the horizontal. A planar surface (44) is defined extending outwardly from the surface of the upper end (42) of the hoop and parallel to the plane of the hoop (22).

A cast vane cluster (32) with enhanced cooling contains an inner and an outer platform (34, 36) and at least two airfoils (38) for directing a primary fluid stream axially rearward . A duct (56) is bounded by inner and outer endwall surfaces (40, 44), and adjacent airfoil fluid directing surfaces. One or more cooling holes (62) in the duct are drilled using an electrodischarge machine (EDM) method without a line of sight from the drilling equipment to the cooling hole location. One or more cooling holes (62), located in portions of the duct, may not be visible when viewed from an external location. Additionally, one or more cooling holes (62) may only have an outlet cross sectional ar ea (66) visible when viewed along a longitudinal axis from an external location.

A blade (20) for a gas turbine engine (10) includes a trailing edge cooling chamber (30), wherein the pressure and suction sides (26,28) are connected by an array of spaced pedestals (32,34,36) . The pedestals (34) in a region most subject to thermal stresses are formed to be elliptical, such that the thermal stresses are spread over a larger area. Thus, stress concentrations are reduced. Also, various sized cylindrical pedestals may be used at other locations.

Mounting apparatus for a traction machine (26) disposed in a hoistway includes a pair of beams (52,64) that extend through the hoistway to the pit (62). One of the beams (52) includes a mounting plate (54) disposed at the top of the beam and to which the traction machine (26) is fastened. The elevator car frame (14) is engaged with guide rails (16) that are functionally separate from the beams (52,64). In a particular embodiment, the guide rails (16) are retained to the beams (52,64) by clips. The clips retain and position the guide rail (16) without subjecting the guide rails (16) to the load of the traction machine (26) .
摘要:
A method and apparatus for non-invasively determining the blood oxygenation within a subject's tissue is provided that utilizes a near infrared spectrophotometric (NIRS) sensor capable of transmitting a light signal into the tissue of a subject and sensing the light signal once it has passed through the tissue via transmittance or reflectance.
摘要:
A support member (20) is useful for supporting membranes such as solid polymer electrolyte ion exchange membranes such as those used in electrochemical cell applications. The support member (20) has a first lattice pattern (24) on a first side (28) of a single piece (22) of material. A second lattice pattern (30) on a second side (32) of the single piece (22) of material cooperates with the first lattice pattern (24) to establish a plurality of flow passages across the material. Each lattice pattern (24, 30) has a corresponding plurality of recesses (26, 34) that extend partway through the material and overlapping portions of the recesses (26, 34) define the flow passages. In a disclosed example, the monolithic support member lattice patterns (24, 30) are established using chemical etching.
